AFV Club Rommel's Mammoth (captured Dorchester)

Cool subject! Never heard or seen that Rommel's used one of these.

His command Sdkfz. 250s, Greif (Griffin) and Adler (Eagle), are more well known.

...and he called them Max and Moritz, two classic German comic figures by Wilhelm Busch, first released in 1865. Until today their adventures are a part of the education of many German / European kids.
If you like comics or just good and funny storys, you should check them out.

Thank you guys! I wish I had more time to work on this but have been busy getting the house ready for winter. Just took out the AC units today will be working on cleaning the furnace and making sure its good to go for winter this weekend. Will have time tomorrow morning hope to bring a update to you all then.

Been almost a month since I updated anything here. I have been really busy. Went to Atlanta the middle of last month to see Amon Amarth 598 miles from my driveway to are hotel and I would do it again to see a show that good. I've also built a new gaming PC and that has taken up some of my time just got it up and running this weekend, one cable held the build up for over a week. Then my touch-n-flow applicator stopped working. Hobby Lobby doesn't sell them anymore and the LHS didn't have one either. so for now I had a bottle of Tamiya extra thin that has a brush in the cap. I like the way the brush works I just don't like the Tamiya extra thin. For one it stinks really bad as soon as you crack the bottle you can smell it. So I poured it into a empty Tenex bottle and then poured my plast-I-weld into the Tamiya bottle. The Plast-I-Weld is the best thing I have found ever since Tenex 7R, it's not exactly like the Tenex but it's close.

Just a couple of photos. First the completed underside, lots and lots of parts to make all this up. To bad most of this will be hidden in the end.

you can pose the front wheels any direction you like. If you was to leave off a few small parts you could leave them movable.
Next is some of the interior.

Promise my next update will be here in less than a month.
Thanks for looking in!

The frame looks great! And I look forward to seeing what you do with the interior. Just stop seeing that silly band and concentrate on this build....

Check out Adam Savage’s One Day Builds regarding working with styrene. He’s using the acrylic formula which is slightly hotter and maybe more to your liking but I was thinking about trying the styrene specific formula.

[Floki]

I promise I won't see them anymore this year lol.

Bruce I was thinking about that but I didn't know how hot it is. Also what it could do to small pieces? Guess a test is in order.

What helped me when switching to 1/72 with CA was using a worn out but not completely thrashed X-Acto blade mounted in a decent handle. I add enough CA to an aluminum can glue pot (see video frames I posted earlier) to coat the tip then I lightly address one side to be glued with a series of swipes before attaching the pieces. If I am able to use this knife tip method in 1/72 builds, I think you will have no worries going to a small brush in 1/32.
